✨February Reading Recap✨

This month was full of swoon-worthy romance, small-town cowboys, dark fairytales, and thrilling twists! Here’s what I read in February:

📖 Hexed by Emily McIntire – A dark, magical retelling that had me hooked with its intrigue and forbidden romance. 🌊✨

📖 The Crash by Freida McFadden – An edge-of-your-seat thriller with twists I did not see coming. Suspense lovers, this one’s for you! 🚗💥

📖 Flawless, Heartless, Powerless, Reckless & Hopeless by Elsie Silver – I finally binged the entire Chestnut Springs series, and I’m OBSESSED. Give me all the cowboys, small-town drama, and spicy romance! 🤠🔥 (Powerless & Hopeless were my top faves!)

February was a 10/10 reading month, and I can’t wait to see what March brings! 📚✨
